I am getting an error message 129 that says it can’t close a trade. What is wrong?

You are trying to trade 2 currency pairs at once, on 2 different charts, but are using the same magic number for each one. The magic number must be different. You could use 510001 as the magic number for the AUDNZD pair, for example, and 610001 as the magic number for the EURCHF pair. The EA for the one currency pair is trying to close an order for the other currency pair at a price that is invalid for that pair. The magic numbers are what tell the EA it should be controlling those particular orders. And that is why each instance of the EA that you are using on different charts must use a different magic number.

It is also a good idea to have each magic number setting end with the number 1, for reasons that you will come to appreciate over time.

If you have any existing EURCHF trades open that have the AUDNZD magic number series as part of that trade, you will need to close them manually and start the EURCHF over again with a different number.

Once you have made certain that you are using a different magic number on each chart, and are certain that no EURCHF orders are open using the same magic number series as that used for the AUDNZD orders, then you should no longer have this problem.

Why won't the robot open trades on Forex.com (or another broker?)

Some brokers have odd names for their currencies, and this will cause the robot to not work. In this case, the currency pair must be EXPLICITLY defined in the settings. They cannot put EURCHF in the settings boxes that call for the currency pair. For example, Forex.com has 'FXF' at the end of each currency pair, so the currency pair must be defined as EURCHFFXF or AUDNZDFXF in the settings boxes that need to have the currency pair entered.
